Partnership with Aurora East School District
Aurora University has launched a partnership with the Aurora East School District aimed at providing candidates with hands-on learning experiences in high-need schools. In spring 2005, 30 pre-teacher candidates were introduced to high-need schools while taking the required course, “How Schools Work,” on-site at Aurora East’s O’Donnell Elementary School. After the course, one candidate stated, “Thanks to this experience, I have completely changed my thinking about…where I want to teach. I now know that I want to teach in a high-need school.” Aurora University receives funding through ACI’s U.S.D.O.E Teacher Quality Enhancement grant. Contact Sherry Eagle at seagle@sd129.org.
